It means knit 2 stitches, purl 2 stitches

Hi, plain rows are all knit stitches. You were doing it right

But it looks like purl stitches….and does not look like yours. It’s bumps and not ‘V’s’.

Hm that’s so strange, if you’re working in the round for the gusset the knit rounds should look like v’s. If purling gives you a better look then you could try undoing a couple rows and redoing it that way

I’ll try that. It’s my first sock, so I might start the second one….No harm…theses are practice and your directions are excellent. I know I’ve done something wrong, I just don’t see yet.

Glad it was helpful! Thank you!

I’m so glad it’s been helpful! Here’s the other video about it: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gmmpeZWVaclqaMUsi=U6Y76sC6JH2x1HX6

@@TheBlueMouseKnitsthank you so much!!!! I’m starting my very first raglan sweater and this will def be the first project I’ll do a swatch for 😅

They’re called chiaogoo red lace needles. I use them exclusively and love them (not sponsored), I get them off Amazon but they are sold in some smaller local yarn stores.

I’m afraid I don’t. I kind of just made it up as I went along. I think it was a cable 8 front to create the wide right leaning cable.

I’m sure it would work pretty well! The only thing I could see if the folded rib weighing down the top of the cowl, but other than that I’m sure it’d look great.

I don’t have any, this is probably the closest to it. But you could modify this pattern to become leg warmers. If you cast on more stitches to fit your calf or wherever you want to wear them and knit them longer it would work out to be a leg warmer. Hope that helps!

Hi, you can totally use a natural fiber. I would recommend a wool or wool blend for a hat just because cotton doesn’t usually have quite the same stretch/elasticity. And you should still be good with a US 7, the needle on the back of the yarn ball is more of a guideline. Hope that helps

@ Thank you!!

@ it has to be worsted weight medium 4 still correct?

Yep!

Kind of yes, you’ll work the back most likely of all purl stitches unless a pattern tells you otherwise. And you repeat the cable row every few rows instead of every right side, probably a cable row every 4 or 6 rows as an example.

Thank you so much! I’m so glad it was helpful for you ❤️

Hi here’s a video where it shows knitting in magic loop after the join, hope it helps! kzbin.info/www/bejne/fIDFon97Zc-Nb68si=ETTn08fasVOYIF1p

I’m so glad it’s been helpful! The way I knit is called continental style and is usually easier for crocheters because the yarn is held the same way. I started out as a crocheted first too. Thanks so much!

Thank you!

Does your pattern have you slip a few stitches, knit 1 and then pass the slipped stitches over that knit stitch, all worked on the right hand needle? Or does it have you pass them before you even knit any stitches, all worked on the left hand needle?

Here’s that step: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qZTUl4JmgM-cbaMsi=4ggrTve16AAZ6ZZm

Hi, the other tutorial you linked is knitting English style with the yarn held in the right hand. We’re both wrapping the yarn around the needle from front to back, it just looks different because the yarn is having to move around more when coming from the right hand.

It’s probably that you’re not used to the newer method that makes the stitches looser. It’s not that you were knitting too tightly, that was just your normal tension with a different method of knitting. Your tension may get tighter with practice or it may stay looser with this new method. It’s hard to say without some time spent using the new to you method. Whichever method you enjoy working is the best one, and if it means your stitches are looser you may just have to switch to a smaller needle size

@ oh ok thanks! I’m new to knitting so this is very helpful

That’s great, I’m so glad! Thank you!

Hi, I have a video linked to this one that goes over the sizing structure and how to read it. But in short: whichever size you choose is how many instructions you count over. So if you chose size 4 then you would count to the 4th instruction in the sequence. For example “work 11 (9, 7, 5)[5, 5] plain rows” If you chose size 4 you would work 5 plain rows because it’s the 4th instruction when read from left to right. Hope that makes more sense, but if not look for the attached video about the prep information for this vidoe

I’m so glad it finally clicked for you! Happy knitting ❤️

Yay! Thank you!

Hi, yes you can knit this with size 8 needles. It will change the size a bit, making it smaller in circumference so a bit closer to your neck. But you can always steam it and stretch it out after the fact if you find it too narrow.

@ thanks so much for responding! 😁

Glad it was helpful!

That’s so wonderful!! I’m so glad it was helpful ❤️

Are those a set of 2 needles? If so then he’s it should be able to be worked with them. You may have to place half of the stitches on waste yarn for the heel flap, but it should still work!

Thank you

Thank you!

Shorts must be less than a minute long, heres the longer slower version: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fJmpZ6WZp7aHsMUsi=qBvL0o66Nb3MawJG

Thank you!

Yep! You’re an English style knitter and I’m a continental style knitter. If you add English style to the end of your tutorial search it should pull up some knitting channels that teach with the yarn held in their right hand. Hope that helps

Hi, I don’t have anything like that at the moment, but I bet there’s a ton on ravelry. I think petite knits has a popular one

❤️❤️

Yay! Congrats!
